Episode 11: Keeping Holidays Sweet for Divorced Families with Brett Sherman

Wealthy After Divorce

Fall and early winter is a special time of year for children in the Midwest. Apple orchards, pumpkin patches, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hannukkah are exciting! For divorced families who are settling into their new normal, holidays also have the potential to generate anxiety for children. In this episode, Jacqueline Roessler, CDFA® invites psychotherapist Brett Sherman to share simple (but profound) pro-active strategies divorced families can implement right away to keep Halloween (and any other holiday) fun and enjoyable for their children. Brett specializes in working with children and adolescents and also works as a parenting coordinator/coach for divorced and divorcing families.

We will discuss:

• The importance of advance planning with your co-parent
• Understanding that holidays intensify emotions for children
• Should families continue celebrating together or should they create new separate traditions with children?
• Setting firm boundaries with extended family
